Continental Hero Senki

Continental Calendar February 20, 638.

The Capital Defence Command in Sokolov, the capital of the Republic of Karlsbert, had a gloomy air flow. The reason for that air is clear and clear. It was on 18 February that Chernilov, a republican stronghold 100 km northeast of Sokolov, fell at the hands of the Crown, and the Republicans surrendered completely against the Crown.

And even after Chernylov's fall, the royalists are proceeding towards Sokolov here, where the National Priesthood is based, without loosening their hands and without stopping their feet. On the 21st, the sound of the royalist's military boots will reach the outer edge of the capital.

And in proportion to the proximity of the royalists step by step, anti-government riots were frequent in Sokolov. It was an uprising to defeat the national sect and support the royalists, but that was only a nominal reason, and the substantive reason was simply "lack of supplies".

Rural areas mostly separated from the forces of the national sect and refused to supply agricultural produce to the national sect. Supplies from Livonia, Ostmarc and Silesia could not have been received, etc., and Sokolov's reserves were dwindling day by day. And even those few stockpiles were requisitioned by the army for the capital city of Cage Castle. Therefore the citizens of Sokolov began to starve, which led to the uprising.

The royalists will soon come to the capital. And riots frequent in the capital. The morale of the soldiers in the capital garrison is also low.

This is exactly what internal distress is about, but interim president Edvart Harha was still portraying winning strengths.

"With the Union of Livonia Nobles on our side, we might still be able to figure it out..."

Throughout this period, Harha was exploring alliances with the Union of Livonia Nobles. It is even doubtful whether Livonia will accept the alliance in its attempts to invade Carlsbert from now on, but he also has a say.

Recognition of nominal dominance to Livonia and substantial autonomy held by the National Authorities. Then he thought that the Karlsbert military regime should still be protected.

The nationalist generals, who had already reduced their numbers, were not in tune with the idea of the Harha. But they didn't think about betraying Harha or anything. Those who are now following Harha admire Harha from before the coup d 'état in Karlsbert, and those who carried out the coup d 'état together. More from an emotional point of view than from reason, they did not easily betray Harha.

It was as a result of the royalist plot that rocked their reason and emotions like that. That information was brought to the table at 16.40 on 20 February at the operational meeting.

"Leaving, February 19. It appears that the Ostomark Imperial Army conducted military exercises in Lower Bach, Ostomark Imperial Territory!

Hearing a report from his deputy, Harha slammed his desk loudly as he stood up on the spot. That can't be happening, give me that look.

"Become...!? Oh, is that true!?

"Definitely. There is also an official announcement by the Imperial Ministry of Military Affairs. It is also quite large, reaching tens of thousands of people…"

"Oh my God..."

After hearing the report, Harha sat back in the chair.

Military exercises do not make any particular sense on their own. Whatever the difference in size, it is what any country is doing.

But the place was the problem. This military exercise took place in a regional city called Lower Bach, the territory of the Ostmarc Empire. It is located on the Marquis of Coudenhof in the northwest of the Empire, a city close to the Republic of Carlsbert, and the border zone with the Union of Livonia Nobles.

Harha, and his chiefs understood what that military exercise meant.

It is an apparent will to declare war against the Karlsbert National Priesthood, and a restraint on the Union of Livonia Nobles to intervene militarily.

This made the military intervention of the Union of Livonia Nobles less likely or postponed. For Carlsbert's sake, there shouldn't be so many heads of state who want to wage the Second Livonia - Ostmarc War, etc.

Roarbach, also the place where this military exercise took place, is located in the northwestern part of the Empire, as mentioned earlier. If we want to engage in hostilities with the royalists, we should do so at a more eastern point, not in Lower Abach. In other words, it was self-evident that the purpose of this military exercise was a demonstration against the National Authorities, and that it would indirectly support the Royalists.

In other words, at this moment, the national sect became completely isolated and helpless.

But in fact, it was decided a long time ago. At this time I did not know the generals of the Haha and below, but Ostmarc had indirectly supported the royalists since the outbreak of the Civil War. It was fate, in a sense, to do this.

It was Uzef Waresa, the operational staff of the Emilia Division, and Fine von Linz, part I of the Ministry of Information of the Ostmarc Empire, who endorsed and cooperated in his plot, who carried out such a fate by hand.

If we got here, just as the Harkha tabernacles had to abandon their emotions, too.

"My lord, that's as far as we can get at the earliest. Let us at least end this civil war as soon as possible and save the lives of our beloved people."

"Your Excellency, make your decision!

Prior to the Tabernacles' persuasion, Harha was silent for a while. He put his hands together and bowed forward dressed like a prayer.

He finally opened his mouth when one of the anxious tabernacles tried to speak to him again. However, Harha's voice at that time could have been very small in view of his crowd.

"... I want time to think. Everybody out of the room."

The tabernacles, who heard the voices of that unfathomable harh, doubted their ears. I didn't think you'd ever hear such a weak dialogue from Harha.

They stepped out of the operations conference room as ordered by Harha, their superior officer, while having tremendous anxiety. The deputy tried to stay, but went out silently because Harha had ordered again.

The bureaucrats waiting outside the conference room were whispering and discussing.

"What does Your Excellency intend to do..."

"My war power difference is enormous, and my supplies and the morale of my army soldiers are on the bottom. Your Excellency knows that resistance in these circumstances ends pointlessly."

"But Your Excellency may want 'honorable death in battle'..."

Edvart Harha was a tactician and strategist. He wore the rank chapters of the Admiral and held the status of Chief of Operations of the military. That's why I couldn't possibly understand the current painful state of the nation.

But he is still also a samurai. There is no certainty anywhere that you will not say "as long as you surrender, you will die an honorable battle". Because it is impossible for a human being to become a dictator who can bend the beliefs he has once decided.

Such anxiety befell them.

And it was impossible for the Tabernacles to think that they should gradually go out to the means of assassination of the Ha 'ha. A wave of crowds visible through the window of the Defense Command prompted them to make that decision.

They never, with their weapons, luxuriously slammed open the door to the operating conference room where the Harha was supposed to be. The ministers who had fought under him for a long time decided in their hearts that they would assassinate Harha, leaving their emotions to push and kill momentum.

20th February 638, 16: 55.

The Karlsbert military regime, which began with the assassination of President Voichev Kriegel, closed its brief history with the assassination of interim President Edvard Harha.
